The history of the NHL jersey dates back almost 100 years. With it's long sleeves, large numbers and stunning logos, the hockey jersey has long been a statement of pride for hockey fans of all ages. NHL fans buy NHL gear including jerseys and wear them to games and at home to show their support for their local team. While all 30 NHL teams now have home, away and sometimes alternate jerseys to wear and sell, that was not always the case. The NHL started in 1917 with five teams. Their uniforms were originally made of heavy wools and cottons to keep players warm and they were not very appealing. For the first decade of league play, teams only had one uniform they wore for both home and away games. The main characteristics of their NHL jerseys were long sleeves and stripes. The Toronto Arenas were the only team to sport a solid blue jersey with white trim. The league slowly made its way to the United States in 1924. The first team in the states was the Boston Bruins. The jerseys associated with this team was a solid brown color with gold trim. At this time, the Hamilton Tigers wore an NHL jersey with thin lines of black and gold on their sleeves. In 1927-28, the Toronto Maple Leafs unveiled a new blue-and-white logo that included a heavily striped jersey for home games and a rather simple white jersey with a blue leaf logo for away games. As the 1930s rolled around, ultra-skinny lines of alternating color were seen in teams, such as the Chicago Black Hawks and the Detroit Falcons. Stars highlighted the NHL jerseys of the New York Americans red, white and blue color scheme. During the 1940s, the New York/ Brooklyn Americans folded and the NHL was reduced to only six teams. It is now that we see the emergence of more and more colored pants, as well as a variety of home and away jerseys. / @foryou-ls1ps https://plus.google.com/u/1/b/1060543... hockey, best, top 10, goals, sport, bloopers, post, lucky, close call, Ice Hockey (Sport), Blooper (TV Genre), Funny, Television (Invention), Star, Nhl, Call,SomeHockeyVideos, commentary, 2bc, 2bcproductions, 2bcproductions2bc, johnny, superbman, the, great, domski, xbox, 360, pc, superbmen, live, funny, video, games, nhl, nhl 14, nhl 14 HUT, nhl 14, nhl14, Bacon Country, nhl 14 rank 2, nhl 14 best player, nhl 14 best players, nhl 14 best hut team, nhl 14 best hut, nhl 14 best team in
